Application filed December 12, 1908. Serial No. 467,285.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PHILIP GANZHORN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State ofIllinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sanitary Toilet-Seat Covers, of which the following, when taken in connection with the drawings accompanying and forming a part hereof, is a full and complete'description, suflicient to enable those skilled in the art to which it pertains to understand, make, and use the same.

This invention relates to covers designed to be used on toilet seats for the protection of the person using such seat.

The object of this'lnvention is to obtain I a device which may be readily adjusted in place on a seat without tearing the device; which will well protect a person using'the seat, and which will fit with reasonable closeness the ordinary toilet seat.

. A'reference letter applied to desi ing.

In the drawing referred to Figure. 1 is a plan view of a device embodying the invention, and Fig. 2 is a top plan View of Moilet seat and of a device embodying the invention placed thereon-in position for use.

ate a given part is used to indicate suc part throughout the several figures of the drawing wherever the same appears.

A is a cover, and consists of a flexible sheet,-as say thin paper, provided with an' shown by lines I), b, and broken lines I), b. To use the device it is placed on a toilet the aperture B is rectangular or diamond shaped, as is seat and the material between the perforations C, C, is broken away and the parts of the cover between say broken lines F, F, (Fig. 1) and the aperture B and forced down in the aperture G of seat H, substantially as shown-in Fig. 2 of the drawing.

'When in this position the cover is interposed between the seat and the person using such seat. a The device may be paper, which may or may not be medicated, as preferred. 1 1

' The end cut E is made to make certain that a person. using the device will not. be soiled by the retention'of anything on the device. v

It will be' observed that the perforations made of thin tissue C, C, at the front of the cover are so arranged that a fly or fla is obtained in the front or forward end 0 aperture B, which is well adapted to protect the sexual organs of-the person using the seat.

Having thus described my invention and the construction and manner of using a dey embodying the same what I- claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent'is;-'

A cover consisting of'a sheet of flexible material provided with an aperture therein tions arranged so that by tearing the material between the perforations of a series a plurality of flaps are obtained, such aperture being rectangular in the central portion thereof with a rear extension thereto, and strips of strengthening material joined to the cover at the ends of the respective series of perforations, extension of the aperture, the series of perforations at the ront end of the aper and with a plurality of. series of perforaand at the end of the rear ture arranged to obtain a flap between them which may be forced down into the aperture of a toilet seat. v
